The Wasteland - ACT Style

[GTRKat]

We had a tiny bit... Thought it was going to be worse than that!

[zebra]

It smashed down when I was driving through kambah, 500 yards up the parkway was dry as a bone.

Still sort of raining here, but most of it is just to the south.

[gtr judd]

Does any body on SAU work at Trojan, thinking bout takin my car there to fix the defect stuff but wanna chat first. Or is there someone who's best too talk too? Do they give us any sorta deal?

[Got a Pulsar]

Just go and talk to John. He's a nice fella and will do the right thing by you.

[Sinista32]

same comment as above

the deal we get is honesty, a good hourly rate in comparison to other places

free good advice and no upselling

- that's my experience so far

[gtr judd]

Thanks guys. I'm still thinking I may do it myself buuuut then it maybe better to just get it done.

As for replacing upper inner control arm bushes and radius rod bushes, what's best to go with? OEM, nolathane?

[Got a Pulsar]

Well, totally different but same, the SkyWagStag now has 4 lots of either New or good second hand Nolathane bushes (Castor, Swaybar and Swaybar links) on it.

Being much better condish than the 24 year old Flogged out ones, they make a huge difference. But I guess new OEM ones may well be the same.

I just got whatever was cheaper.

Rubber is better, even for racecars.

It takes up the shock and vibration without getting loose.

Also John at Trojan sold me those volks for $600. Was $800 but he couldnt get a part or something so i got a discount. He is very nice.

$800 was a bargain anyway.

[gtr judd]

Yea I was thinking rubber because the coil overs make it stiff enouh. I might ring Nissan and get a price.... hopefully it isnt too scary

Might as well do the lower bushes too yea?

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Well thank jeebus the hot weather is over.

I can move again, and be outside during the day.

Whiteline do rubber too.

Hardrace have the option of hardened rubber, but its mostly arms n stuff with the bush already in it.

Also stay away from rose joints or pillow ball joints, they suck balls, and wear very quickly. Bastards need replacing in 6 months.

Yes i wasted money on that crap. Thanks Driftworks, wankers.

there was sudden rain down at my dads in Calwell for about 10 mins yesterday, got out of the pool, smoke everywhere, herd thunder and the raid instantly came down hard! the heat cracked a pipe for the pool heater so lost some water out of the pool, the rain filled it again within 10 mins....

so I went inside, jumped on gt6, got the 33 and went drifting

[Shell]

Where?

[RosieR34]

Links...

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

I saw it on the news I think, or aca, I don't believe it will happen tho

[Got a Pulsar]

Tease.

ACA says something about raising Australian Hwy Limits to 140km/h.

[B-rice]

slight chance it might happen but you'll get a few against it to rule the idea out.

[RosieR34]

I just hope they will at least re-look at the highway driving. Making it 120km/h would be a great increase. That way I can drive 130km/h on the highway instead of currently driving 120km/h

[Anfanee]

Won't happen. Canberra drivers don't know how to drive as it is.

[B-rice]

If it was 140 would be very reasonable for long journeys like CBR to SYD would definetely respect that and not go over, 110 is just depressing.
